Was that our Spanish residing correpondent I saw at Burton on Friday. Back for a holiday? Or so enraptured by our promotion push that you have moved back for good?

For decades, throughout Latin America, peñas served as gathering places for political, social, and cultural events. It was at a peña that issues of politics were explored through music, poetry, and theater and where political debates were shared over food and drinks.

There's a building down the road which says "Peña At. Madrid" outside and the term gets used for the clubs and societies which do things for Semana Santa, the fiestas etc. So with my still very limited Castillian it seemed to me to be the right word for "supporters' club" or similar.
Anyway I couldn't get the password to work on "Huescarian" - which is wrong anyway because they say "Oscensian".
